InformixCity: Introduction to Informix

Informix City - the initiator of the UK Informix Community Event - has published an interesting presentation from IBM Informix Program Director Fred Ho from the IOD 2008 conference. The presentation provides an overview of IDS and the underlaying DSA Architecuture (Dynamic Scalable Architecture). It shows the sweet spots of IDS as well as the interoperability with other IBM products.

I like particularly the informative Informix history graphic that shows the major (IDS) events on a time bar:

A great overview for newcomers as well as existing Informix fans. You can download the presentation from here:
